RWBY: Volume 4’s Japanese trailer leaves more to imagination

RWBY

(Lechería, September 11th. O’kuroku).- After streaming a trailer for RWBY Volume 3 that left nothing to imagination last year, Warner Bros. Japan decided to hide some of the good stuff this time.

This trailer, again, shows the great performance of the voice cast. I will say this over and over again, the cast assembled for this series is really an “All-Star” team.

The 4 main characters are Saori Hayami (The Irregular at Magic High School’s Miyuki Shiba), Yoko Hikasa (Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon?’s Freya), Yu Shimamura (Attack on Titan’s Annie), and Ami Koshimizu (Kill La Kill’s Ryuuko Matoi)

Other cast members are Masaki Terasoma (Fate/stay night: UBW’s Souichirou Kuzuki), Shizuka Itou (Prison School’s Meiko), Marina Inoue (Attack on Titan’s Armin), Hikaru Midorikawa (Haven’t You Heard? I’m Sakamoto’s Sakamoto), Yuichi Nakamura (Fairy Tail’s Gray), and Yoshiki Nakajima.

Last year I was dumbfounded with all the things that were revealed: Pyrrha and Jaune’s kiss, the fight between Yang and Adam, Ruby’s new power… Fortunately for all the people who hates spoilers, this time the revelations were kept to minimum.

But there still are revelations in this trailer, the main one being watching Yang sparring with her dad while using her bionic arm. Moreover we happen to see a big part of Crow and Tyrian fight, including the moment when Ruby is saved by her uncle. I guess they have to spoil at least some of the big things. Luckily they decided to show nothing of the final battle.

Along with the trailer, Warner Bros. Japan’s official anime YouTube channel began streaming a trailer and 15- and 30-second versions of a commercial for the fourth volume, which will have a two-week theatrical screening at the Shinjuku Piccadilly, Cine Libre Ikebukuro, 109 Cinemas Kawasaki, 109 Cinemas Nagoya, Namba Park Cinema, and Movix Kyoto theaters beginning on October 7.
